On Sunday 3rd December a team from RayGen will be running 5km in support of Beyond Blue.  

The Solar Powered Speedsters are hoping to collectively raise $1000 for this incredible organisation.  Did you know that over 3 million people in Australia experience depression or anxiety, and every day, around 8 - 9 people take their lives? As Australia’s most well-known and visited mental health organisation, Beyond Blue has worked with the community for over 20 years to improve mental health and prevent suicide, so that all people in Australia can achieve their best possible mental health.

We'd love you to help us reach our goal by sponsoring us using the link below.

At RayGen, we're not just dreaming of a brighter future; we're actively engineering it.

The latest gender diversity data for women in STEM and engineering roles in Australia has opened our eyes to a crucial need for change. While strides have been made, the numbers are still staggeringly low. But we refuse to accept this situation.

RayGen is stepping up to the challenge with a bold commitment: We're setting the bar high by aiming for a 30% female workforce within the next 5 years. We're not just talking about it; we're making it happen!
 
We believe that a more diverse workforce is not just a nice-to-have; it's a must-have. Diversity fuels innovation, and we're ready to enable women to drive that innovation.

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to making the 30% target a reality.  Join us in reshaping the future of STEM and engineering.

At RayGen, we cherish values like treating each other with empathy and respect.  We believe that these values extend to how we deal with emotions in the workplace.  So, instead of the usual well-being discussions, we decided to have some fun during our RU OK Day Lunch and Learn session, by playing Emotions Charades.

Emotions Charades might sound like a game night favourite, but it was so much more. It required our team to express different emotions without using any words or sounds. This playful exercise helped us explore emotional literacy and expression in an engaging way, reminding us that emotions are a natural part of being human.

But here's what we learned— describing and deciphering emotions is a complex and challenging task. As we tried to act out these emotions, it became apparent that understanding and expressing our feelings can sometimes be quite intricate. It reinforced the idea that knowing your own emotions is crucial. If you're not feeling good, taking some time to understand what emotions are showing up for you is essential. After all, you can't look after others unless you firstly look after yourself and your needs.
Our belief is that emotional literacy is a vital skill that strengthens our connections, builds trust, and makes us a more resilient team. And that's where the "RU OK?" question comes in. It's not just a polite phrase to use occasionally; it's a regular practice that promotes openness, vulnerability, and empathy.

In a nutshell, our RU OK Day event showcased our commitment to emotional well-being, in line with our values. We encourage you to adopt "RU OK?" as a regular part of your interactions in the workplace. By making emotional well-being a priority, you'll witness the positive transformation it brings to your team dynamics and overall success.
